Dieticians, Nutritionists, and Nutrition Consultants
Dieticians, Nutritionists, and Nutrition Consultants:
- plan and develop school board food policy and the food and nutrition education programs;
- advise the boards on food and nutrition matters in the schools
- draft documentation and develop standards for the quality of food services to be offered in the establishments.
For example, it is partly thanks to their work that students:
- have access to healthy meals as per Canada’s Food Guide;
- have access to food services meeting the highest hygiene standards;
- are informed as to what constitutes a healthy diet.
